This year’s honorees included filmmaker Ava Duvernay, Ronald O. Perelman, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sherrilyn Ifill, Sally Mann, and Jamel Shabazz, and the evening—which featured a performance by Grammy winner Mavis Staples—raised for than $1 million for the foundation’s educational and artistic programming.
